Work to Hire or Hire to Work?

Your days as a plumbing business owner are long, busy, and hectic. You feel overworked, overwhelmed, and stressed. So you think, "maybe it's time to hire some help.” But then the thought of how time-consuming the hiring process is, makes you even more overwhelmed and stressed. You’re too busy to hang a HELP WANTED sign, let alone actually go through the hiring process with multiple people. 

What a lot of plumbing business owners don't realize is that...

You can post jobs when you are fully staffed!

That ensures that you have candidates to pull from when the need arises. If you start the hiring process when you are already drowning, you'll not only add more stress to your life, you'll do a worse job in the hiring process because you are desperate.

Here are some tips on how to streamline your hiring process and get the help you need!

1. Post your jobs right away!

When that first thought of “maybe it's time to hire some help” pops into your head, post your jobs! That way you will have applicants ready when you need to hire. The worst thing that can happen is you hire someone to start in a few weeks when things pick up. 

2. Be Consistent.

If you have a position you are constantly hiring for, repost the job ad every month to refresh it on job boards. In fact, Indeed’s recommendation is to close and create a new job ad every 30-60 days! Which will help with applicant quantity AND quality. 

3. Let us take your stress away!

Outsource your hiring to ApplicantPro ;) When you’re ready to post a job let us know! Once your applicants start rolling in, you can log in to schedule interviews.  We can write the job ad, advertise the job, and screen your candidates so you can focus on your plumbing business!
